I’ve been looking forwards to Phaedra’s story for a long time and though I wasn’t sure what to expect it was so perfect! If I had to describe this story in one word I’d say it would be passionate.

If you’ve read the previous books in the series (though it’s not necessary) you will have seen the hints of Phaedras activities in the background. I love that we got an insight into this from her pov at the beginning of the story.

Phaedra is just a great chaotic character, her interests are the opposite of what a duke daughter should be doing but I adored that we got to see her in action. Morgan was a perfect match for her in heart. He appreciated her talents like no one else and really saw her. Though not at all appropriate for her station and detested by New York society, Morgan was dangerous and brutal but also so wonderfully caring with Phaedra. I adored their romance; two people who tend to do whatever they want resulted in a passionate story as they collided. Definitely one of my favourite romances - minimal miscommunication, class difference, dangerous & protective hero.

I throughly enjoyed uncovering Morgan’s past and also seeing his side of the story with Ben (a previous hero from another book in this series). The ending just made my heart happy.

It also has some wonderful steamy scenes and some great twists. And I liked the change of scenery and getting to see more of the set up in New York and that we get so much interaction with the rest of the Barrington horde.

Overall an excellent addition to the series and one of my favourites!
